The  Empire  State 


HE  great  Empire  State  of  New  York,  roughly  shaped  like  a  triangle  with  its  base 
bordered  by  the  Great  Lakes,  and  the  apex  extending  down  to  the  Atlantic  Ocean, 
has  an  area  of  fifty  thousand  square  miles  and  maintains  a  population  of  nine  millions. 
During  the  Revolutionary  War,  this  territory  was  the  theatre  of  many  of  the  more 
important  operations  of  both  the  American  and  British  Armies.      Its  loyal  citizens 
sacrificed  their  lives  and  wealth  to  the  patriot  cause.    After  the  close  of  the  struggle 
for  Independence,  a  period  of  business  activity  followed,  which  received  a  tremendous 
impetus  from  the  opening  of  the  Erie  Canal  in  1825. 
From  that  time  until  the  present  day,  although  slightly  halted  by  the  Civil  War,  the  economic  develop- 
ment of  New  York  has  been  one  uninterrupted  record  of  progress,  and  from  the  commanding  and  overpower- 
ing position  it  has  won  in  the  American  Union  it  well  deserves  and  justifies  the  title  of  "  Empire  State." 

New  York  dictates  to  the  world  in  the  domain  of  finance  ;  and  in  the  extent  and  value  of  its  manufactures 
it  outranks  the  great  industrial  State  of  Pennsylvania.  It  has  become  to  be  universally  recognized  that  no 
project  is  too  daring,  no  achievement  too  colossal,  to  appall  the  dauntless  American  spirit  of  its  people. 

The  public  institutions  of  the  State  are  models  of  organization  and  its  public  school  system  has  won  the 
admiration  of  the  world.  Within  its  borders  have  been  promoted  and  developed  a  large  number  of  the 
immense  private  enterprises  which  have  become  so  marked  a  feature  in  our  modern  life. 

It  would  be  hard  indeed  to  predict  the  complete  future  of  this  great  commonwealth,  but  its  peculiarly 
advantageous  position,  lying  between  the  great  productive  West  and  the  Atlantic  seaboard,  with  its  miles 
of  perfect  railways  and  the  noble  Hudson  as  connecting  links,  makes  it  certain  that  so  long  as  the  American 
Union  shall  endure,  so  shall  New  York  stand  pre-eminent  as  the  "  Empire  State."

Stretches  from  opposite  City  Hall  Park  to  Fulton  and  Sand  Streets,  Brooklyn.  This  magnificent  bridge  was  begun  in  1870  and  opened  to  the  public  in  1883.  Cost, 
$21,000,000.  It  consists  of  a  central  river  span  4,505  feet  long  and  two  land  spans,  with  a  total  length  between  terminals  of  7,580  feet.  The  bridgeway  carries  two 
cable  and  two  trolley  car  tracks,  two  wagon  ways  and  a  footpath.  4,000  cars  and  2,000  vehicles  pass  east  and  west  every  day.  The  average  number  of  passengers 
in  twenty-four  hours  is  300,000.  It  is  estimated  that  about  5,000,000,000  have  used  this  bridge  since  its  opening.

THE  OLD  MANOR  HALL 

The  old  Manor  Hall  is  the  pride  of  the  city  of  Yonkers.  The  front  part  was  built  in  1682  by  Frederick  Philipse,  the  first  Lord  of  the  Manor  of  Philipsburg.  It 
was  completed  by  the  addition  of  the  back  part  in  1745.  The  building  remained  in  the  possession  of  the  Philipse  family  until  1790,  when  because  of  the  toryism 
of  the  Frederick  Philipse  of  that  day — the  third  Lord  of  the  Manor— it  was  confiscated  by  an  act  of  the  Legislature  of  New  York.  It  was  used  by  private  families 
until  18G7.   Since  1S72  it  has  been  the  City  Hall  of  Yonkers.   The  old  structure  has  had  the  best  of  care  and  is  a  perfect  specimen!  of  colonial  architecture.

DUNDERBERG  FROM  PEEKSKILL 

The  pretty  town  of  l'eekskill,  settled  by  the  Dutch  in  U>M,  is  located  upon  the  eastern  bank  of  the  Hudson  almost  directly  opposite  Dunderberg  Mountain.  Here 
the  river  makes  a  great  sweep  though  the  "  Southern  Gateway  to  the  Highlands."  The  enormous  mass  of  the  Dunderberg  and  Bear  Mountains  fills  the  western 
horizon.  It  was  upon  Dunderberg  in  the  good  old  times  that  the  rollicking  goblins  were  wont  to  make  merry  during  the  sudden  thunder-gusts  which  swept  down 
from  the  Highlands  upon  the  old  Dutch  river  navigators.

AN  INSPECTION  AT  WEST  POINT 

The  Cadets  receive  a  training  which  is  as  rigid  as  it  is  thorough  and  practical.  The  two  essential  military  virtues,  diligence  and  faithfulness,  arc  taught  from 
the  beginning,  not  only  in  the  recitation  rooms,  but  on  the  parade  ground  and  in  the  countless  military  exercises,  l'roinptness,  obedience,  efficiency  and  neatness 
are  sternly  insisted  upon  until  they  become  tixed  habits.  A  high  code  of  honor  is  made  a  part  of  the  character  of  every  graduate,  partly  by  the  military  dis- 
cipline, partly  by  the  splendid  traditions  of  the  Cadets  themselves.

THE  OLD  STATE  HOUSE 

The  first  legislature  to  convene  in  Albany  met  in  1797.  No  especial  building  was  completed  for  the  use  of  the  lawmakers  until  1808  when  the  Old  State  House  was 
erected  on  the  hill  in  front  of  the  site  of  the  present  State  Capitol.  In  half  a  century  the  old  structure  became  cramped  quarters  and  in  1S78  the  legislature 
removed  to  the  unfinished  newer  building.    The  Old  State  House  is  now  used  in  connection  with  the  Capitol  by  the  State  Comptroller  and  State  Engineer.
